It’s generally a good idea not to write from the perspective of a “poor black kid” if you aren’t a poor black kid.
“But the biggest challenge we face isn’t inequality.” Says you, a middle class white male from a white middle class family. Okay.
There’s a better way to address the disparities in our school systems as they are produced by our race system and society in general. And there’s definitely no harm in suggesting academic aid tools without starting your sentences off with, “if I were a poor black kid”… which not only narrowly consolidates these issues to a single community but also perpetuates really dangerous, misled stereotypes. There’s just too much, cheezus.
